Hảo Hảo Hảo? I doubt whether John Lee Hooker enjoyed this stuff during his life, but let’s see if it’s any good.
Category: * Stars 3.1 – 4.0
#399: Paldo Spicy Seafood Flavor Noodle Soup Cup
Ah the fruits of the sea! I wonder if it’ll be a fishy spicy thing going on? I sure hope so…
#398: Paldo Bowl Noodle Soup Beef Flavor with Vegetable Instant Noodle Soup
So here’s perhaps the last or maybe next to last of the Paldo Bowl Noodle Soup line. These have been really good!
#394: Paldo Hwa Cup Noodle Soup Hot & Spicy Flavor
So today is the day of the supposed rapture, predicted by a fellow in Oakland, CA. He’s disappeared but The Ramen Rater hasn’t! So let’s check out these noodles from Korea!
#390: Menraku Japanese Curry “Soba” Bowl
So we went to the brand new Bellevue Washington Uwajimaya a couple days ago and wow – pretty awesome! Got some nice bowl noodles to try – here’s one!
#387: Nissin Bowl Noodles Rich & Savory Beef Flavor
Well this should be a tasty and tame one after the horror of the zero star review #386. So on we go with some beefiness!
#384: Nissin Demae Iccho Instant Macaroni In Soup Tom Yam Goong Flavour
So I’ve been doing these slowly because they’re so cool! Another my sis brought back from Canada. Tom Yam eh? Should be interesting!
#380: Assi Brand Pho Vietnamese Noodle Soup
So here’s some interesting stuff. It doesn’t say its any particular flavor other than ‘pho.’ Not beef or veggies or chicken. I’m going to guess beef. The picture looks kinda beefy.
#378: Ve Wong Hot Of Hots Artificial Satay Beef Flavor Instant Oriental Noodle Soup (Bowl)
The ‘Hot Of Hots’ eh? Sounds interesting! I hope its good as I really like satay…
#377: Sau Tao Ho Fan Abalone Chicken Soup Flavored
Yep – here’s another of the Sau Tao’s. I’m just going to go through all of them in a row I think. This is Chicken and Abalone – kind of a new twist on ‘surf and turf’ eh? Anyways…
#374: Vifon Shrimp Flavor Mi Tom Asian Style Instant Noodles
I rarely have any issue with a nice shrimp flavor bowl of noodles. These are from Vietnam by Vifon – I’d better cook them up and review them ‘cuz I’m hungry!
#371: Nissin Chow Noodles Alfredo Ramen Noodles
#369: Bon Go Jang Tofu Udon Dosirak
So this one took a little work – all I knew was it was from Korea. Wasn’t sure of anything much other than that and the brand name. Luckily, those two things brought it all together. I found that this stuff is called Tofu Udon Dosirak and comes from Hanil Food Co. Ltd. in Seoul, Korea under its Bon Go Jang line of products. ‘Dosirak’ translates like ‘Bento’ or ‘Take Out Lunch.’ On their website it describes this as “fresh katsuo bushi soup with tofu udon that you can eat simply by adding hot water.”
#368: Knorr Chili Pork Flavour Cup Noodles
So here’s a weird looking one – something my sis brought me back from Canada. Chili Pork flavor sounds good in theory, but very curious how it’ll be in practice. Also, This is the first Knorr brand instant noodle I’ve reviewed; kind of surprising to be honest.
#367: Saigon Ve Wong Kung-Fu Artificial Chicken Flavor Vietnam Flavor
Didn’t think this wasn’t a repeat review but yeah – this is new! So here we go!
#365: Nissin Cup Noodles Prawn Flavour
So here’s another one my sister brought me back from Canada! Definitely a flavor you can’t find here in the states.
Re-Review: Tat Hui Koka Mi Hai Tom 2 Prawn Flavour Oriental Style Instant Noodles
So I reviewed this one a really long time ago and thought it really needed to be brought out again. I don’t even remember what score I gave it, but it’s being prepared no doubt a little different this time and so we shall see how it fares. I remember liking it a great deal.
#363: Nissin Demae Iccho Tonkotsu Flavour Macaroni
Since I did my first radio interview today, I thought I’d review something equally interesting – Japanese macaroni weirdness!
#359: Nissin Bowl Noodles Hot & Spicy Beef Flavor
So here’s one we got a Megalomanianmart the other day. Was nice to see there was another flavor out there; I think this stuff’s pretty okay. One thing I noticed – the other two I’ve reviewed say ‘with chicken’ or ‘with shrimp,’ and this one just says ‘beef flavor.’ Kind of interesting I thought.
#358: Doll Instant Noodle Spicy Artificial Pork Flavour
Always a big fan of the Doll brand stuff. Spicy pork huh? Awesome – sounds like a part of a wholesome breakfast!
#357: Payless Xtra Big Kalamansi Pancit Canton
So I have found that I really like this pancit canton – the Payless Xtra Big chilimansi and regular are awesome – so let’s see if the lime one is rockin’!
#353: Nissin Top Ramen Chili Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
So here’s one my lady got for me – chili flavor Top Ramen! So cool – dueling Chili flavor products back to back! Let’s rock!
#350: Nissin Souper Meal Tomato & Garlic Shrimp with Premium Straight-Cut Noodles
Alright -first off, it’s my lady Kit’s birthday today! Happy Birthday I love you!!! She was just in California and brought me back some noodles. I thought there were only two varieties of this stuff – apparently I was wrong! So here we go!
#349: Ottogi Ramen Bokki
So I asked my lady Vietnamese, Korean or Filipino noodles today? She said Korean. So I picked this one to try. It’s quite unique as it’s the first round big bowls I’ve ever seen with a drain spout. Let’s begin.
#348: Paldo Bowl Noodle Soup Kimchi Flavor
So here’s another one of these by Paldo. It shall be today’s breakfast/lunch.
One solitary packet of love.
#346: Paldo Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Artificial Chicken Flavor
So I’ve reviewed a lot of bowl noodles. I’m confused as to how Paldo, Samyang and Nongshim all have them and they’re all called bowl noodle. Spicy chicken is pretty common – let’s see how this is.
#345: Myojo Charumera Shoyu Noodles With Soup
This is one of those that I’ve only found in 5 packs and had to go ahead and get it. Been so curious about this one and I mean the packaging is probably one of the coolest I’ve seen yet. I wish this guy would come to my town and toot on his trumpet – I’d gladly buy a bowl of noodles from him! I think I can say happily, “screw the ice cream man – this guy’s way cooler.”
#344: Paldo Stirfried Kimchi Noodles
So haven’t seen this one before so I snagged it today. Its a little hefty actually and seemed much bigger than most packages…
#342: Nongshim Shin Big Bowl Gourmet Spicy Noodle Soup
So here we go – an even larger container of Nong Shim Shin Ramyun!
Styrofoam! Ready for battle!!!
#341: Vina Acecook Daily Vegetarian Flavour Instant Noodles
Some new stuffs of happiness from the folks at Vina Acecook – we have vegetarian flavour. I’m enthused! I’m curious if this will taste like a vegetarian – vegetarian created with Japanese technology, that is!
#340: Shirakiku Tokusen Shoyu Ramen Japanese Style Noodle
Always nice to see a bag of noodles that I’ve only seen previously in five packs. I don’t like buying five packs period. Doesn’t matter if they are super cheap – I only want to eat one, review it and then move on. So let’s see how this goes.
#336: Six Fortune Instant Noodles With Soup
Here’s a Six Fortune – I think this is their flagship or ‘original’ flavor. Anyways, hope its good!
#335: Goku-Uma Ramen Noodles Hot Flavor Japanese Style Instant Noodles
So I’ve seen these bowls around for a while but haven’t tried them. So here’s the first – hot flavor.
#332: Nongshim Champong Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup (Cup)
So it’s time for some spiciness! Champong! Bring it!
Was a little surprised to see this one has over 2200mg sodium! It’s just a cup for cryin’ out loud!
#329: Mee-Jang Artificial Beef Flavor Instant Noodles
Here’s another Namchow Mee-Jang variety, this time its artificial beef. So far, these have been pretty good.
#327: Gomex 3 Miến Mì Tôm Hùm Lobster Flavour Instant Noodles
So here’s a brand I’ve never tried before. Gomex is produced by Viet Hung Food, another brand I’ve never heard of before. So I suppose its time to strap on the old noodle bowl and try this stuff.
#326: Little Cook Instant Noodles TVP Curry Chicken Flavoured
So here’s another of the big ole Little Cook bowls. I would like to say first that curried chicken is one of the favorite things of mine. Let’s see if it’s good.
#325: Namchow Mee-Jang Artificial Pork Flavor Instant Noodles
So some noodles from Thailand. I have no idea what to expect from this one… Let’s see what’s inside…
#324: Nongshim BIG Bowl Spicy Noodle Soup With Shrimp Flavor
So here’s a big sucker – the name says it’s big. So let’s see if bigger is better with Nongshim Spicy Shrimp…
#323: Ottogi Jin Ramen (Hot) Asian Taste Instant Noodle Cup
I like how the lid has the instructions in the little pull up tab!
So here’s some Korean cup noodles from Ottogi. Haven’t had any Ottogi stuff in a while so this should be nice.
